So...Devs is There going to be a next beta?

[Elastik Spastik]

WOW!

2 whole weekends {1 for the console peasants} to test the massive game and all it's new mechanics that Defi2050 is!

Incredible that the devs feel that that's the extent of testing that this game needs...Hell, we only had a fraction of the map to test. Does not bode well...

Crazy, that was it. The testing done. There are no better testers than gamers willing to test. Sad that there will be no more until launch. Devs are missing a big opportunity for us test a lot of stuff in game. Now looks like will be testing when the game actually launches.

Which in turn, if a lot of bugs remain and stuff unfixed, and performs poorly at launch, it could drive players away and Defiance 2050 end up losing out. A lot of this can be avoided.

Should let those of us who already has played the closed beta be the closed testers

Yeah, I wish this were true.

Whelp... guess I'll delete the Defiance 2050 closed beta app on my PS4 when I get home from work. So disappointing...

IKR console peasants, lol. You think we'd be able to try other classes and such. Also any fixes the do complete we could make sure it's fixed. Anyone who's played a game that is cross console knows changes to PC don't always work on console. If any thing they should have a 2-3 day closed or even open beta once a month till the game is released. Don't think that be asking too much, but what do I know...

A fraction of the map and a very limited number of quests.
The game needs way more testing, totally agree with you.

The same map and same quests from the past 5 years. I think they have all been "tested" enough in that time frame. We don't need another Beta for old hat. The weapons are clearly not finished as far as development goes.

The weapons is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) part of the game. They are defo far from finished. But the whole map and and more bigger arkfalls/events (and more stuff) need stress testing too. Be nothing worse if this game launches and turns into lag fest, players disappear and all sorts of stuff that is not tested to its limits end up not working.

Ok, we know all to well the size of the map, but what Fallen Angel was trying to say, as i´m i, is that we had a small sample of how things work on new gen consoles.
Because for PC this might look unnecessary but for us playing on PS4 and X1 it´s not.
They need to see how things works with a steady population on the game and at the same time stress test the game on these particular platforms.

clan options and functions were not tested properly at all. old system was riddled with bugs and by the looks of it new system is the same. guess clans dont matter in new version either.

in all fairness console players deserve another closed beta. pc got 2 so should consoles. programming is different on all 3 systems, cant just say problem solved for all cause it got double checked on pc.

also where was the dev presence all weekend. noticed zero activity all weekend from the devs this time. how can you run a beta and not have constant replys and responses to issues on the forums to reassure players and testers that things are being addressed in a timely manner

Good morning, Arkhunters. There are no further beta tests scheduled before release of Defiance 2050. If we do end up deciding to do further beta testing, it will more than likely be an open test and will be closer to our launch date.

^ This right here should speak volumes about how this is going to be handled. Anyone still eager to pony up for the founders pack to beta test this at full release....again? I was addicted to this game and spent tons of cash but after the issues with the beta that I had and little to no communication regarding this has me keeping my hands up and wallet shut. 'Twas a good run.

Exactly my thoughts.
